Cleveland, Ohio – Spring storms are expected to disrupt commutes and outdoor plans in northern Ohio starting Monday night, with heavy rain and thunderstorms likely through Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will begin Monday evening across the Cleveland area, with the chance of thunderstorms increasing after 2 p.m. Tuesday. Southeast winds near 9 mph and moderate rainfall could impact visibility on major roads including I-90 and I-71. A 70% chance of precipitation is expected Tuesday afternoon, with locally higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
Drivers should watch for slick roads, especially during rush hours Tuesday and Wednesday. If thunder roars, go indoors — lightning may accompany these systems. Tuesday night remains active, with storms possible before 11 p.m. followed by a slight chance of rain until dawn. Temperatures will hold in the low 60s, offering no risk of frost, but muggy conditions may cause reduced visibility and uncomfortable travel.
Wednesday brings another round of scattered storms and a 50% chance of rain throughout the day. Those planning outdoor work or school activities should have indoor alternatives ready. Keep phones charged and alerts on, as sudden downpours and lightning could create safety hazards.
Looking ahead: Thursday will be partly cloudy with a chance of showers (30%), followed by a warmer Friday with highs near 82°F and a 40% chance of rain. Saturday and Sunday trend similarly, with springlike highs in the mid-70s and ongoing rain chances.
